Gold from the Vaults - Episode 6: David Holmgren on Japan, Permaculture, and Indigenous Wisdom (Copy)

Welcome to a truly transformative episode of Gold from the Vaults. In this feature, we revisit a powerful seminar delivered by the late Jerry Brunetti — a leading voice in natural health and soil science — who turned a terminal cancer diagnosis into a profound journey of healing, education, and inspiration.

🕯️ In 1999, Jerry was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and given just six months to live. Refusing chemotherapy and conventional treatment, he embarked on a deeply researched, integrative approach to recovery — one that combined detoxification, immune modulation, functional nutrition, and the foundational principle of “food as medicine.”

Jerry went on to live 15 more vibrant years, inspiring thousands with his knowledge and his story.


🌿 What You'll Discover in Pt 1 of this Groundbreaking Seminar:

  • How cancer cells thrive on glucose and the dangers of anaerobic metabolism
  • The link between chronic inflammation, lymphatic congestion, and degenerative disease
  • Why alkalinity, oxygenation, and hydration are essential to healing
  • The role of detoxification pathways — especially the liver and lymph — in preventing recurrence
  • The therapeutic potential of enzymes, medicinal mushrooms, raw dairy, bone broth, botanical extracts, and grass-fed fats
  • Why Jerry considered acid-base balance and circulatory integrity non-negotiables in natural cancer therapy
  • The importance of sleep, stress reduction, and rest in immune recovery

Drawing upon the work of pioneers like Otto Warburg, as well as traditional medicine systems and current scientific insight, Jerry presents a cohesive and empowering framework for healing. His philosophy is simple but profound: what you eat, drink, and think can either feed disease or fuel your body’s natural defences.

“You can't drug your way out of a disease you ate your way into.” – Jerry Brunetti

🍎 Food as Medicine – The Heart of Jerry’s Protocol

This episode centres around a fundamental concept: every bite is a choice between healing and harm. From bone broth to fermented foods, herbal extracts to adaptogens, Jerry unveils a therapeutic toolbox that anyone can begin using immediately to support their health — or help a loved one on the path to recovery.

Whether you're facing illness, supporting someone through their healing, or simply seeking to optimise your health naturally, this is essential viewing.

📌 This is more than a seminar — it's a survival guide.



Curcu-Life™

Curcu-Life™ contains organic, nutritionally grown, freeze-dried turmeric mixed with organic black pepper, to greatly enhance the multiple benefits of curcumin.

Curcumin is a phytochemical found in turmeric, and has generated huge excitement in the integrated medical community. There have been more than 600 published papers describing the multiple benefits of this natural substance in relation to many of our major degenerative diseases.

The turmeric is grown at our very own Nutrition Farms estates on the Sunshine Coast’s pristine hinterland, using Nutrition Farming® regenerative farming principles to ensure optimum nutrition throughout planting, growth and harvest. The end result is chemical-free and nutrient-dense produce with vivid flavours.


Green Defence™

Green Defence™ features the energy-building power of pre-digested super greens, including spirulina and cereal grasses, combined with the exciting phytonutrients derived from pre-digested vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, cabbage, corn, beets and ginger. The multicoloured pigments from these vegetables have been shown to deliver many nutritional benefits.

"Protective pigments like lutein, lycopene, beta-carotene and anthocyanin have become catchwords for phytonutrient research in nutritional science. The growing understanding of these 'defence foods' heralds the dawn of a new era of science-based nutrition."

Certificate in Nutrition Farming

Our next iconic, five-day Certificate in Nutrition Farming® course is scheduled for Monday 27th - 31st October 2025.
